Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge








The last couple of years at Miss Universe have seen a few pleasantly surprising placements to go along with some shock exclusions. So, for the 72nd Miss Universe which is just getting underway in El Salvador, who are the dark horse contenders that may just pull those surprises?

I’ve picked out 10 delegates who may well find themselves in the semifinals – or even better – without a strong sash or a massive amount of hype surrounding them.

By no means is this a definitive list – if you have any other dark horse contenders in mind, leave them (respectfully) in the comments below.

  1. I like your list but I truly believe Miss Jamaica will go very far. She has a strong Voice for Change platform and being a stunning doctor is only a plus. I think Miss Italy as well after seeing her interaction with El Salvadorians.

  2. I was about to ask why Nigeria is not on this list, then I realized she's a top contender for the crown this year. Nigeria will get it's highest placement in Miss Universe in El Salvador this year. I see 3 African countries making the Semis and 2 in the top 5.

  3. We're definitely using the term 'dark horse' very loosely here, cuz it features some of the most popular contestants (Chile is top 10 in fan vote, even). But either way, I'm always happy to see some non-typical countries have their moment at MU.

  4. MISS THAILAND WILL WIN MISS UNIVERSE 2023, SHES THE BEST AND THE MOST PERFECT CANDIDATE, AND THE OWNER OF MISS UNIVERSE IS THAI, SO MISS THAILAND DESEREVES TO WIN,NO ONE IN THIS WORLD IS PRETTIER THAN MISS THAILAND, GO GO GO GO THAILAND!!!
